My hubs likes Jeff Gordon. I like Carl Edwards. But most of all we just love to watch the races! We miss them!

YES!!! I can hardly wait for Feb 14!!!!
I like Kevin Harvick! My family all has different drivers so it always fun to see us watching the race! My boss scheduled me to wotk on the 14th! I ahve already informed her I will be switching that shift!

We watch too. I am also a Carl Edwards fan but my husband and son don't really say who they are for just who they don't want to win! LOL My oldest son was a Rusty Wallace fan and collects all kinds of NASCAR memorabilia.

You bet!! We have gone to the race in Kansas since the opening of the track!!! It is a good 16 hour drive from our home in Canada, but well worth it!!!!!!!!!! DS love Jeff Gordon, DH was a #3 diehard, then moved on to Michael Waltrip and now this year I don't know who he is pulling for. Me and DD are Dale Jr. all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We didn't renew our tickets for this year's race, we want to go to a different track. Our Sundays are pretty sad without NASCAR!!

I guess you could say I am :roll: I use to watch every race every week, now not so much. Quilting has moved to the front of the line :wink: I like Hamlin, my son Jr. . I will be in Daytona the week before the race :shock:

We are #3 fans also and hope that Jr. does better this year. Sometimes I don't think he's got it in him to be a champion. I know he can never do as well as #3 did but you would think he could be better than he has been. We cheer for the RCR cars and some others. I like Tony Stewart but my DH can't stand him. LOL But we are all Hoosiers who go way back.

I don't think Jr's heart is in racing since his Daddy died. :-(

Yes, big race fans here, and we are missing the races, can't wait for them to start again. We love Dale Jr, and hope he does better this year. Also love Carl Edwards, he reminds me of dh in his younger days :)

And of course Mark Martin. He's a good ole Arkansas boy. :thumbup:

Ryan Newman is also a Hoosier :thumbup:

can't wait for the season to start again. I think that I will pick one driver to follow so I can really get into the season.

Nascar racing is the only sport DH watches on tv! He's been laid up with a broken leg and is not-so-patiently waiting for Feb 14! He likes the older drivers and he roots for whoever is driving the Cat car. I'll watch it with him, but am not a die-hard fan. But I do root for Ryan Newman!

I loved watching Nascar with my Dad when I was young. My favorites were Richard Petty and Cale Yarborough. Loved Bobby Allison until he died in a crash.

then- Jimmy Spencer- our hometown NE PA boy. I have a tire from one of his car races at Pocono.

Now- not really anyone in particular- Tony Stewart or Jeff Gordon, no one really strikes my fancy.

I always said I wanted to be a NASCAR driver when I grew up, but until then I practice on the local expressway. :)

I am a Jr fan...but my loyalty is waning. I think he needs to quit driving and just be an owner. He just doesn't have it in him. I used to think his driving stunk because of all the drama with DEI and his stepmother. Now he is with a new team and other than one race at the beginning it has all been downhill. It is not looking good for him. DH is a Tony Stewart fan, he actually did very well last year. I am now rally liking Denny Hamlin...he has a great future ahead of him. Clint Boyer is another good one. Dh and I are looking forward to Daytona also!!
